forester, thanks for the scene. It opens and renders great in Vue Pro. I'm just unsure what settings should be used to render though. The previous benchmark used render:preview, render:final (at 800x450) and render:final to disk. Should we try render:final quality and render:broadcast at 1600x1200? Seems a little high to me but it is rendering fairly fast on my AMD XP 2100+ (says it will take 20-30 mins). Lets get a final spec before starting a new thread. Maybe to keep things simple, we should just say, render to screen, 1600x1200 at final quality? Any thoughts anyone? BTW Dale B, with my P4 prescott I'm using Corsair RAM and it seems fine to me. I have 2x512 sticks, and haven't had a problem with it yet. But my machine also uses the Intel 875 chipset...
